The PSQ aims to appraise the competency and skills of college freshmen in statistics as acquired from high school. The National Statistics Office and the Philippine Statistical Association organized this noble undertaking in 1992 to advocate public awareness and appreciation of statistics. The Commission on Higher Education began endorsing this national competition since 1994.
Contestants and their respective coaches outside National Capital Region shall be provided with roundtrip fares. Accommodation and allowance of all regional champions and coaches will also be provided by the PSQ organizers.
Furthermore, the national finalist will be awarded with a PSQ medal and a certificate of recognition.
